Philippe NEDJAR - The Shadow Of Your Smile (2003)

Curious route as that of Philippe Nedjar ... Young guitar prodigy gypsy in the 60s, he left all disappointed by the unexpected “officialdom” of being a musician, began the business and returned 30 years later, living legend, with a fine tribute album to Django late 50s ...
The disc consists mainly of American standards that are played ... in the U.S.! A very bop phrasing, no pump but a rhythmic piano / bass / drums and guitar manouche mounted Stim. All swings remarkably.
To support his tribute, two counts of Django solo set “Clouds” and “Improvisation No. 5” in any personal interpretation.
